Thanks to rapid innovations in wireless technology, wireless infrastructures are changing in unthought-of ways:
Organizations who once deployed autonomous “thick” access points are now buying “thin” APs and controllers, and even mesh nodes, and wondering how to economically integrate the old and new.
Companies that installed 802.11 b/g radios just a year ago are now adding 802.11a, and thinking about 802.11n, to increase capacity and integrate voice.
Enterprises who once were wedded to one brand of wireless hardware now want to investigate other options, or find themselves saddled with integrating the hardware of a company they have acquired.
If the initial deployment of a wireless network caused headaches, companies are facing even more challenges during a period of change. Yet few have the luxury of sufficient time and/or resources to do a fast “forklift” upgrade. Change must be implemented, while security and service levels within the organization are maintained.
Please join us on Tuesday, August 28, to hear one of AirWave’s top wireless networking engineers, Jeremy Haltom speak about what he has learned — and what you need to know — about how to stay in control of a migration plan, and not be controlled by it.
Topics to be covered include:
- Extending the useful life of existing AP hardware
- Determining where additional wireless capacity is really needed
- Controlling “thick” and “thin” APs from a single console
- Retaining historical user and trend data through the migration, and beyond
- Managing Complex Security Policies
- Managing consistent access and security policies across a diverse infrastructure serving multiple
- Interest groups and with multiple levels of access
